Benefits of technology

The invention is about a microscope and a way to use it that makes it easier to take pictures of objects.

Problems solved by technology

The outlay in terms of apparatus for achieving this rearrangement, however, is great.
In addition, the time needed to calculate the rearrangement is relatively long.

Embodiment Construction

[0040]A microscope 10 serves in particular for confocal imaging of an object 12 at a resolution that is below the diffraction limit of the imaging of the object 12. To this end, the microscope 10 comprises an illumination beam path 14, an imaging beam path 16, an illumination device 18, a detection device 20, and a control device 22.

[0041]The illumination device 18 comprises a multiplicity of light sources 24 and an illumination optical unit 26. The light sources 24 are arranged in a 2D array, and are connected in each case data-technologically to the control device 22 via an electric line, such that the control device 22 can switch the individual light sources 24 on and off in each case. The light sources 24 are each configured to produce radiation having different wavelength ranges. The illumination optical unit 26 has a focal length corresponding to a distance between the multiplicity of the light sources 24 and the illumination optical unit 26, with the result that the radiation...

Abstract

A microscope having an imaging beam path, an illumination beam path, a detection device, and a control device for controlling the detection device and the illumination device. The control device divides the light sources of the detection device in an array into at least a first and a second group, wherein each group is composed of light sources adjacent to each other in the array and covers part of the array. The control device switches on only one light source of the first group at a point in time and connects the light sources of the first group in a sequence with a clocking in such a way that two light sources switched on one after the other are adjacent to each other in the array and switches the light sources of the second group with the same clocking as the light sources of the first group. The control device reads out the detection device with the same clocking as the connecting of the light sources.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a U.S. National Stage application of International PCT Application No. PCT / EP2017 / 063456 filed on Jun. 2, 2017 which claims priority benefit of German Application No. DE 10 2016 110 433.7 filed on Jun. 6, 2016, the contents of each are incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to microscope for imaging an object, comprising an object plane for arranging the object, an imaging beam path, an illumination beam path, a detection device, and a control device. The invention furthermore relates to a microscopy method for imaging an object, comprising the following steps: arranging the object in an object plane; imaging the object with a resolution that determines a minimum diameter in the object plane from the object plane into an image plane using an imaging beam path.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In confocal microscopes, it is possible to achieve a resolution which is better than t...
